Happy Fathers Day!

Sunday is Fathers Day as Jared keeps reminding all of us saying that everyone has to be nice to him because it's 'Daddys Day'. As he was saying this again tonight I thought to myself, what's with Fathers Day, after all he isn't here all the time like I am!!! He sees them for a few hours in the evening and then on the weekends. Well after I got past the 'make it about me' feelings I started to think about ALL the stuff Jared does and why he SOOOOO deserves 'Daddys Day'. Everyone always says they have the worlds best husband who is also the worlds best father.....well, I'm no exception because I do have the worlds best husband who doubles as the worlds best father! I will try to explain why my husband is so great but words really won't be enough. There is just a feeling I have in my heart when I think of him and how real he is, and know also in my heart that I just plain don't deserve him!

He truly LOVES spending time with his boys. He wants them to experience everything. He has taken Brayden to his 3rd or 4th major league baseball game (two weeks ago it was the Twins vs. Yankees). Last weekend he took both boys to a Blues Festival downtown (I would have gone but I really needed to have some uninterrupted time to get things done around here, which he completely understands). One huge reason we are going to NJ this summer is so Camden can see the ocean and so Brayden will remember the ocean, which is very important to Jared. In the evenings when Brayden wants to throw the baseball Jared ALWAYS makes time to do so even if it's only 5 times (Brayden's favorite number he just announced) because it is already past bedtime! He loves Saturday morning spending time with Brayden watching cartoons (even if it involves getting up early on his only morning to sleep in). And not only does Jared do all of this and much much more for and with his children, he truly wants to and gets as excited if not more excited than the boys.

Brayden's 1st Yankees game (there will be MANY more I'm sure of that!)

The boys at the Blues Fest after they ate all of Jareds cornbread!

Jared has known that he wanted to be a dad since before I even met him. He knew that he wanted kids before I was convinced. He was very involved with my pregnancies and very bummed that I never had cravings that sent him out at all hours of the night (he still brings this up.....maybe baby #3???).

Most of all he just loves us and wants the best for us, and while he may not be here 24/7 he works his butt off 24/7 to give us this wonderful life.

Happy Fathers Day Jared, you definately deserve this day and many others!
